Schroeder, Jon T. "Jack" Ap pleton Jon T. Schroeder "Jack", age 54, died unexpectedly, Friday morning, Mar ch 12, 2004. He was born May 1, 1949, to Ronald and Delores (Bastian) Schr oeder, in Greenville and grew up on the family farm, which was the beginni ng of his passion for gardening and landscaping. Jack served with t he U. S. Army, during the Viet Nam Conflict from 1968-1970, in Germany. H is career took several paths, starting out in data processing, movi ng on to the insurance industry and finally finding his niche. Jack beca me the owner of Appleton's UPS Stores, December 2000. This job was never w ork to him and he opened shop each day thankful at last to be "his own bos s".Bowling with the boys seemed to span a lifetime and none of us will forg et his excitement with his 300 game.His yard was his sanctuary and he watched it grow from an open field to t he park it is today. Attending to his birds and watching them right outsi de his window entertained and humored him.His love of sports started with his own children and then turned to the Ba dgers and Packers. He could hardly wait to see Brian Butch play Badger ba ll next year.His children are a tribute to him, and he nurtured them along the wa y. If he could he would tell them how very proud he was of them. Thirty-o ne years of marriage was a time of sharing, caring and taking care of o ne another. Family vacations taught him much about his family and will rem ain some of our most cherished memories.Jack's optimism influenced many and for that we remember him as the kin d, honest and loving person he was. His Christian values provided comfo rt in times of need and when there were no answers. He watched his childr en grow in faith and knew he provided the one thing needful. We say good-b ye to a man whose life epitomized simplicity, contentment, love of fami ly and life itself.Survivors include his wife, Caroline A. (Presteen) Schroeder; two childre n, Christina M. Schroeder, Madison; Bradley A. Schroeder, Waukesha; his mo ther, Delores Schroeder, Green-ville; three sisters, Susan Drews (Larry Sw afford), Janis (Rick) Bartel and Lori Schroeder; two sisters-in-law, Dia ne (Tom) Pompa and Nancy (Peter) Butch; three nieces and a nephew, Aman da (Peter) Huycke, Katherine (Nathan) Wynveen, Brian and Laura Butch.He was preceded in death by his father, Ronald L. Schroeder, February 2 8, 2002, and his grandparents, Harry and Hilda Schroeder and Roy and Els ie Bastian.Funeral services for Jon will be held at 11 a.m., Tuesday, March 16, 200 4, at ST. PETER EV.

Friends may call at the funeral home from 4-8 p.m., Monday and on Tues day at the church from 10 a.m. until the time of the service. A memorial f und is being established.God must have loved him very much to have taken him from us who loved a nd needed him. He summoned an angel to gather a few of the sweetest blooms .Then he carried them back to heaven Where they never would wither and di e, But live on forever, rejoicing in His wonderful garden on high.
